Console SecretBox revolutionises hotel management with its Vega PMS integration

Console SecretBox, the first direct, commission-free e-commerce solution for gift boxes and gift vouchers, reaches a major new technological milestone. This innovation lets you increase your sales while offering your customers a 100% personalised experience, perfectly aligned with your establishment's image.

The modern hotel ecosystem requires perfect integration between the various management tools. Console SecretBox meets this requirement by integrating harmoniously with your existing systems, in particular your PMS, POS and Booking Engine software. This revolutionary approach turns the management of your gift boxes into a simple, fast process, freeing precious time for you and your teams.

🔗 The Vega integration: A technological revolution

Vega, the benchmark PMS solution for French hotels, manages the bookings, invoicing and operations of thousands of establishments every day. The integration with Console SecretBox represents a major technological advance in optimising gift box management.

This two-way integration enables real-time data synchronisation, eliminating the risk of manual errors and time-consuming double entry. Hoteliers thus benefit from a unified ecosystem where every piece of information is automatically shared between systems.

This integration radically transforms operational efficiency: no more manual handling, make way for intelligent automation that secures your processes and optimises your performance.

⚡ Gain efficiency with concrete benefits

The integration between Vega and Console SecretBox delivers a series of operational benefits that transform your daily life:

⏰ Revolutionary time savings

All the information contained in the SecretBox gift voucher is automatically synchronised in Vega. No more manual re-entry of data: voucher number, amount, purchase date, recipient – everything flows instantly into your PMS.

🔄 Smoother, secure management

The full status of each SecretBox Gift Voucher (validated/expired/redeemed/partially used) automatically flows into Vega. This real-time traceability eliminates any risk of confusion and guarantees flawless management of your gift boxes.

💼 Simplified accounting

Gift vouchers are posted to the accounts manually or automatically according to your preferences. The system intelligently manages deposits and final posting, complying with hotel accounting standards and simplifying your monthly closings.

🎯 Maximum efficiency across multiple points of sale

Gift vouchers sold are automatically attached to the corresponding Vega points of sale (hotel, restaurant, spa, bar). This automatic segmentation makes it easier to track performance by department and optimises your profitability analyses.

• Real-time two-way synchronisation between the two systems
• Elimination of manual entry errors and duplicates
• Complete traceability of each gift voucher's life cycle
• Unified reporting for an overall view of performance
• Compliance with hotel accounting standards automated

🏨 Concrete benefits for your establishment

This technological integration delivers measurable benefits that directly affect your operational and financial performance:

• 70% reduction in management time for gift vouchers on a daily basis
• 100% elimination of entry errors thanks to automation
• 50% improvement in team satisfaction through simplified processes
• Optimised accounting follow-up with easier monthly closings
• 360° view of performance by point of sale in real time
